Revolut Launches Fastest way to Buy Cryptocurrency

We wanted to open up cryptocurrency exposure to everyone and not just the enthusiasts. We’ve simplified the complex signup process, removed the high fees and brought cryptocurrency exposure to everyone at the touch of a button.

But before you get started, we wanted to explain the process again, highlight the risks involved and spell out how we’re going to initially roll out the feature.

How to get instant access to crypto

The demand for cryptocurrency exposure has been overwhelming. To ensure that our onboarding process runs smoothly in response to high levels of demand, we’ve set up a temporary queue.

Standard customers can get instant access to the new cryptocurrency feature by inviting three friends to join Revolut or by upgrading to Premium. Existing Premium customers will be given immediate access once they have agreed to the terms of use and clicked through the legal disclaimers.

How to buy crypto through Revolut

Buying cryptocurrencies has never been easier. Simply download the latest version of the app for iOS or Android and then enable cryptocurrencies from the ‘More’ tab. Please ensure that you read the terms and conditions and understand the risks associated with cryptocurrencies before proceeding.

Once this has been done, you’ll then be able to exchange any of our 25 base currencies into Bitcoin, Litecoin or Ether, all in a matter of seconds at the best possible rates.

What can you then do with your crypto?

Once you have exchanged your fiat into crypto in the app, you can:

Hold it securely, just like you would any other currency.

Instantly transfer it to other Revolut users for free.

Exchange it into any other crypto or fiat currency using the best possible rates
